Painted-Retro-Toms

Hi there! I’m excited to share this project with you today for a few reasons – a) it’s ‘wearable art’ and what’s more fun than wearing something you created, and b) it’s a great project for Spring. I don’t think there’s one of us who isn’t ready for Spring, right? Seriously. What a winter! These […]

No Sew Poinsettia Tree Skirt

In all the years I’ve been decorating Christmas trees I’ve never had a tree skirt. Ever. I mean, what’s the point? Aren’t there just gonna be a ton of prettily wrapped presents under the tree anyway? A swirl of fabric always worked just fine for me. Until this year. Two things – one, I saw […]

Wicked Painted Table Topper for Halloween

September 19, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 6 Comments

Halloween Painted Table Topper

I’m almost done with my Halloween projects for this year. Almost. Since our new house has two levels, basically two different houses, that means I have to decorate twice. Have to. Luckily, I never seem to run out of ideas. Or paint. When I saw this silver and black runner at Pottery Barn, I thought […]
